Hi,
my RX-V673 has developed a niggling fault over the past few weeks. At startup there is no sound at all. After a while (20-30 minutes) sound starts coming through sporadically. Then over the next 10 to 30 minutes there are more and longer periods of sound, with some popping and cracking. Then finally the dropouts cease and the amp works correctly and will work correctly all day so long as it's not switched off.
Further information: all inputs are HDMI. When the sound has dropped out, the front panel speaker icons also disappear. All other functions of the amp seem to work OK. During the 'warm-up' period, the picture is unaffected. The length of time that it takes the amp to start working properly is getting longer every day so I'm assuming that at some point it will stop working completely.
I don't have very much experience in troubleshooting electronics so I suspect that this fault may be beyond my abilities to fix but any insights or clues as to where to investigate will be gratefully received. I have a service manual but it's too large to upload.
